Sarah Contact me off-list if you want copy of the information I have on Hourie, which includes notes and locations of gravestones as well as photos of farm that Captain Hourie lived at etc. I checked this lot out on one of my regular trips home, on behalf of someone else. You or anyone else is welcome to what I have.

My maiden name is HOWRIE and I have been able to trace the family to the Orkneys back to the 1650s - I haven't got anything like a family tree yet though and as I am new to all this (and living in Australia) any snippets of information would be most gratefully received. > > Thanks > Sarah > >
